Abstract Recently, a novel duck-origin goose parvovirus (N-GPV) was reported to cause short beak and dwarfism syndrome in ducks. In this study, we performed complete genome sequencing and analyzed three different duck-derived parvoviruses that infected different breeds of ducks. Phylogenetic trees based on gene sequences indicated that they were classical goose parvovirus (C-GPV), Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV), and N-GPV, respectively. Furthermore, potential recombination events were found. These results improve our understanding of the diversity of duck-derived parvoviruses in the Anhui province, eastern China, and provide a reference for the prevention of associated diseases.

Abstract Derzsy’s disease and Muscovy duck parvovirus disease have become common diseases in waterfowl culture in the world and their potential to cause harm has risen. The causative agents are goose parvovirus (GPV) and Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV), which can provoke similar clinical symptoms and high mortality and morbidity rates. In recent years, duck short beak and dwarfism syndrome has been prevalent in the Cherry Valley duck population in eastern China. It is characterised by the physical signs for which it is named. Although the mortality rate is low, it causes stunting and weight loss, which have caused serious economic losses to the waterfowl industry. The virus that causes this disease was named novel goose parvovirus (NGPV). This article summarises the latest research on the genetic relationships of the three parvoviruses, and reviews the aetiology, epidemiology, and necropsy characteristics in infected ducks, in order to facilitate further study.

Derzsy’s disease causes disastrous losses in domestic waterfowl farms. A genetically variant strain of Muscovy duck parvovirus (MDPV) and goose parvovirus (GPV) was named novel goose parvovirus (NGPV), which causes characteristic syndrome in young ducklings. The syndrome was clinically characterized by deformity in beaks and retarded growth, called short beaks and dwarfism syndrome (SBDS). Ten mule and pekin duck farms were investigated for parvovirus in three Egyptian provinces. Despite low recorded mortality rate (20%), morbidity rate was high (70%), but the economic losses were remarkable as a result of retarded growth and low performance. Isolation of NGPV was successful on primary cell culture of embryonated duck liver cells with a clear cytopathic effect. Partial gene sequence of the VP1 gene showed high amino acids identity among isolated strains and close identity with Chinese strains of NGPV, and low identity with classic GPV and MDPV strains. To the best of our knowledge, this can be considered the first record of NGPV infections in Egypt.

Abstract Short beak and dwarfism syndrome (SBDS) emerged in cherry valley duck flocks in China in 2015, and novel goose parvovirus (NGPV) was proved to be the etiological agent of SBDS. To date, whether SBDS-related NGPV isolates possess common molecular characteristics remains unknown. In this study, three new NGPV strains (namely, SDHT16, SDJN19, and SDLC19) were isolated from diseased ducks showing typical SBDS and successfully passaged in embryonated goose or cherry valley duck embryo. The whole genomes of three NGPV strains shared 98.9%–99.7% homologies between each other but showed slightly lower homologies (95.2%–96.1%) with the classical GPV strains. A total of 16 common amino acid point mutations were produced in the VP1 proteins of six NGPV strains (SDHT16, SDJN19, SDLC19, QH, JS1, and SDLC01) compared with the classical Chinese GPV strains, among which nine amino acid sites were identical to the European GPV strain B. The non-structural protein Rep1 of the six NGPV strains generated 12 common amino acid mutations compared with the classical GPV strains. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Chinese NGPV strains clustered with the European SBDS-related NGPV strains, forming a separate branch, distinct from the group formed by the classical GPV strains. Taken together, the present study unveils the common molecular characteristics of the NGPV isolates and directs the conclusion that the Chinese NGPV isolates probably originate from a common ancestor with the European SBDS-related NGPV.
